Erick Sermon Goes ‘Back 2 The Party’ With Salt-N-Pepa Before Releasing His Next Album

Erick Sermon is dropping a new album, "Dynamic Duos," and just released the project's first single.

Erick Sermon, one-half of the seminal hip-hop group EPMD, has released his first single from his next album, Dynamic Duos.

“Back 2 The Party” is a collaboration with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Salt-N-Pepa that is sure to enhance the legacy of both acts.

Barely a year after the celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, Sermon is in the studio cranking out tracks to add to his lengthy catalog. Partnering will well known artists in his hip-hop class, Sermon’s collaborative project is helping hip-hop stars of the past continue creating and generating income.

“The idea of the Dynamic Duos album started by putting together artists from my era that people forgot about. Before the recognition that hip-hop’s 50th anniversary brought to my era, I wanted to put something special together,” Sermon said in press release.

“Back 2 The Party” has Salt and Pepa spitting lyrics over Stephanie Mills’ 1979 song, “What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin’.”

The single is the lead from the album that pits Sermon with familiar hip-hop artists like Cypress Hill, Method Man, Redman, Mobb Deep, MOP, and Snoop Dogg. This album is co-produced by Rockwilder who shared the project on his Instagram account: “Once again it’s on. . .”

The upcoming album will be distributed through Sparta+ under 300 Entertainment. A release date hasn’t been announced.

On an October episode of the My Expert Opinion podcast, Sermon revealed that Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, was an unofficial member of Def Squad. He would have most likely signed with Def Squad if he didn’t get shot nine times in 2000. Three years later, he signed with Eminem’s Shade Records.
